Walking sticks for Women.

A fashion introduced at foreign watering places this year has originated the carrying
 by women of very tall and much ornament ed walking sticks, writes Clara Lanza from New York The custom threatens to make it's appearance in this country, though it is
 safe to say, with our present style of dress
 and methods of living, these canes will hard ly become popular. They may indeed be said merely to represent fresh way of spending money and exhibiting extrava- gance. I happened to see one of these sticks a few days ago. It had been brought to New York by fashionable woman who had been spending the summer at Trouville. I be- lieve she used it religiously on the other side, but here it occupied prominent corner in the drawing room, and is regarded more as 8 curiosity than anything else It is made of finest satin wood and is twice the length of the ordinary walking stick. The handle is thick and round, topped with gold and sur rounded by tiny turquoises and diamonds. On touching 8 spring this gold tip flies back, l revealing within a small bottle, presumably for perfume. I say presumably because one | would naturally imagine the glass receptacle l to be destined for triple extracts and nothing else. Inquiry, however, revealed the start. l ling fact that anything liquid, with the ex- ception of perfume, may be carried in the
 bottle. Vinaigrettes, I was grayely in formed, belonged to past generation. No I woman of elegance ever carries one. She l rubs few drops of fragrant extract in her 1 ears, and puts any number of silken sachets l in the drawers of her toilet table, but as to ! be seen with a vulgar smelling bottle, such a | thing is out of the question. What purpose | then does the bottle in the jeweled cane serve? Why, in nine cases out of ten 1t IS | filled with chloral brandy, iqueur or any l other of the stimulating drugs so much af- | fected by the modern woman of fashion.

INSTEAD OF THE PRIVATE KEY.
Ingenious Philadelphia Devices to
 Beat the Sunday Liquor Law.

Ingenious Philadelphia Devices to Beat she Sunday Liquor Law. From the Philadelphia News.l The Sunday private key has departed, and the private tip how to open the back gate has taken it's place. Some of the devices are really ingenious.
 'Dont you know howt o get in thereP'ask a young man who stood near 8 saloon in Ken
 sington. 'Well, if you'll set lem up I'll show you. I'll take you to the gate, and if you can open it I'll treat"
 The offer was readily accepted. The way to the back gate was a roundabout one, | but it was reached. A rope with handle on the end invited pull and the strange, pulled. The gate didn't open. The man pushed inward and pulled outward, and even tried to raise the gate, but it remained | firm.
 ] ooh, it's locked and we're fooled" he ex- claimed in disgust.
 "D'ye give it upa We'll, I'll try it." The young man took hold of board which ap- peared to have been nailed over hole in the l the same time he pushed upon the gate and ! it gently swung inward. Once inside the stranger saw how it worked. hole had been ! bored through the gate opposite the board which the young man had pulled. rope
 ran through the hole. one end of which was
 attached to the board and the other to 8 spring lock. The pull had drawn the bolt.
 That was all. The stranger simply said: s'Welli That knocks me out!" l There are other ingeniously fastened back gates in Philadelphia. There is one in the
 southern section of the city which would | puzzle frst-class safe burglar. The gate is located on side alley forty feet from the sa- | loon. At the corner of the alley on the fence is small ring. pull upon that ring

ssSLEETOVER.o $


 The next war will establish or explode many theories which have lately found ex- pression in new explosives and new weapons. American, English, German and French in- ventors have been busy trying to invent something that will kill men with more neat ness and dispatch than is possible with the present means of carrying on war. And even the Russians, not to be wholly behind the | times, have come forward with 8 new and | interesting explosive which they call "Sleet- over."
 Just what Sleetover is is at present known | to only few Russians. But if the truth is | told it bids fair to be very useful where there
 is killing to be done. Its chief peculiarity is l that it explodes by expanding in one direc-
 tion only, and that the direction in which
 the projectile is to be carried forward. No heavy metal gun is required to resist it's ex- pansion, either upward, downward or on either side. Its force is expended directly in
 front, where it has nothing but air to en-
 counter, and its explosive power can be made equal if not superior to that of gunpowder | and gun cotton, that projeetile can be | sent by it as far as by the use of either of | these explosives. It is said that an expert | ment was made with cardboard tube and
 that heavy projectils was shot from it by 1 means of the "Sleetover" without doing ma- terial damage to the tube.
 Sleetover, if it works according to promise,
 will make quite 8 change in war. As the New York Times puts it, the heavy gun car riages which cannot be dragged through mountain passes will be discarded, and stur- dy men will shoulder the aluminium guns and carry them easily into places which have hitherto been inaccessible to the artillery of an enemy. All the heavy transportation necessary to be done will be that Of the balls and other projectiles, and these can be car- ried in small loads with comparative ease The dangers from the explosion of heavy cannon, when subjected to too great strain, will be done away with, as "Sleetover" push es only to the front, and requires the exercise of no resistance from the tube in which it ex- plodes.
 And so it goes. A contest between men armed with Sleetover guns and men armed with dynamite guns would be interesting and instructive to those who are interested and instructed by such things.

were determined, and when the young fel-
 lows found this out they surrendered, and
 forthwith there was rush for admission into
 the local temperance society. The latter is
 now in very hourishing condition.
 Pierre Vaux, who has just died in penal
 servitude at Cayenne, was, it now appears,
 treated with more injustice than falls to the
 lot of most men. Thirty-fve years ago, be-
 ing then school teacher at Longpierre, he
 was convicted of arson through the efforts
 of the Imperialist mayor, who hated him
 because he was Republican, and was sen-
 fenced to imprisonment in the hulks for life.
 Later on the same mayor caused the convic-
 tion of six other Republicans for the same
 offence, but was charged himself with hav- ing set all the fires, and being arrested com
 mitted suicide in jail. Meantime ten appli-
 cations for Pierre Vaux's pardon had been
 made and endorsed by the officers of the
 hulks, whose esteem he won by his exem-
 plary department, but more exciting affairs crowded them away from official attention. Now the French government has decreed his rehabilitation, which is certifcation that he ought to have been pardoned, and the nearest thing to justice that can be done for dead man.
 The Boston Herald prints some very inter ssting stinside notes' concerning the great yacht race, as follows: MT. Edward Burgess was never confident over the result; in fact, he thought the Thistle's chances were a little the better. Up to a day before the race he had doubts and he was as much surprised as anyone at the great licking the Thistle got. General Paine always contended that there would be yacht race and that the Volunteer l would be in it. To his most intimate friends l he never spoke with great confidence, and he ! looked upon the result of the inside race in l doubt He thought the Volunteers chances l were better to windward in good breeze. Few people have any idea of the amount of ! races. He spent hours in deep thought and he was always planning something. AS soon
 es he read the inside description of the | Thistle he began to see what could be done | to the Volunteer inside 80 as to lessen her
 weight He kept his own counsel and qui- etly had the top of the sides of the center l board well taken off, He next had the old
 mainboom heightened eighteen inches at the jaws. Many other, things were done on the Volunteer to improve her, and when she was foated, the day before the first race, her improvements were such that she was from
 eight to ten minutes faster than she was | while sailing in the East.

It is arranged similar to the first one described. One man has gone even further. He has an electrical attachment by which he knows when his friends are at the gate. By press ing upon knot in the gate post bell be- hind the bar rings. Then he pulls string and unbolts the gate without leaving his place behind the bar.
 'I am about fixing set of mirrors which will reveal to me the faces of the men who seek to enter," said saloon keeper, speak ing of the movement to bafae the police. tsThe would-be customer presses upon nail head, which rings an electrical bell at the bar.

 Rockdale county, Georgia, has taken full advantage of "local option" But one per- son in the county is permitted to sell liquor; he .s appointed by the grand jury; can sell for medicinal purposes only, and cannot keep on hand more than ten gallons of spirits
 The Reform leagues committee in Balti- more has published two affidavits made by well known and reputable citizens who over heard the talk of Senator German and his friends as to what was going to be done by their henchmen. The scheme announced in- volved the striking off of the names of 5000 colored voters in the Republican wards and the purchase of the influence of two leading Knights of Labor. It was also announced that the custom house assessments, amount ing to SIS, ,00O, had been collected.
 The Economista Mexicano gives an account of new species of silk, the cultivation of which has been undertaken in the State of Yucatan. It is the produce of the wild silk worm Bombyx Psydii, which is closely allied to the domestic silkworm. The silk on the cocoons is elastic and of excellent quality, though rather uncertain in color, varying from white to pale brown, but one difficulty Is that it is covered with gum which is very difficult to dissolve. The government of the State of Yucatan is making expert ments with view to utilizing this wild silk.
 At a negro camp meeting at Hillsberough, Illinois, the other day there was striking bit of realism. The preacher gave an elo- quent discourse on the prodigal son. Dur- ing it's delivery young darkey arrayed in picturesque and many colored tatters to rep resent the prodigal son stood in 8 clump of bushes waiting for his cue. At last the cue came in the shape of powerful blast on 8 the arms of the old preacher, who enacted the part of father. Then some sisters brought forward fatted calf which had been previously killed and nicely roasted, and everyone began to be merry just as in the | days of old. The story as related sounds l somewhat sacrilegious, but it was enacted by the colored brethren in entire good faith. Some effective work for temperance has lately been done among the Irish-Americans of the Pennsylvania coal region. It has now come to such pass that the young Irish American ladies will have nothing to de with the man who drinks. By raising this boycott against the boys the girls have play ed the part of true missionaries, in that they succeeded in driving the young men into the societies. An illustration of this was seen in the town of Beaver Meadow when all the girls in the place combined and resolved that
 they would not accept the attention of any
 young man until he had first signed the pledge and joined the St. Aloysius society,
 For awhile it was thought the young ladies
 were not in earnest and that the boycott 1 would soon be lifted. But the young ladies
